Old Testament Greek Pseudepigrapha with Morphology
Overview
The Pseudepigrapha are among the most important non-canonical texts for biblical study, second only to the Dead Sea Scrolls. Students of the Bible engage the literature of the Pseudepigrapha (Greek portions as well as those in Hebrew and Aramaic) because this material provides sharp insight into how the Jewish community of Jesus’ day approached and interpreted the Hebrew Scriptures. Old Testament Greek Pseudepigrapha with Morphology includes morphologically tagged and lemmatized Greek texts for 81 books, letters, and fragments, making it the most complete electronic assemblage of Greek pseudepigraphal texts available! Currently, people who want to study the OT Greek Pseudepigrapha must track down and acquire dozens of critical editions in hard copy, scattered across libraries and publishers around the globe. The Greek running text in the Logos edition is drawn from the best available scholarly editions in the public domain. All Greek texts have been morphologically tagged and lemmatized by Dr. Ken M. Penner, PhD, a project director and general editor for The Online Critical Pseudepigrapha project. Dr. Penner also helped prepare a number of the texts. Several texts left out of other electronic editions on the market (e.g., Apocalypse of Daniel and the Psalms of Solomon) are included in the Logos edition! The Logos edition also includes brand new introductions, written by Dr. Michael Heiser, PhD. These introductions provide a summary of the significant features of each text and explain how each plays a role in biblical studies.

“Since the Reformation, Protestant theology has taught that Paul was arguing against the idea that observing the law merited favor with God.” (source)
“Since the author of the pseudepigraphical book Jubilees evidently draws on 1 Enoch and the former dates to at least 170 b.c., Aramaic 1 Enoch must predate 170 b.c.” (source)

“The point is most likely not that Jesus was an angel, but that Jesus, or a particular Old Testament angel (or another form of the vice regent figure in the Old Testament) was to be identified as Yahweh but did not replace Yahweh (cf. Heiser).” (source)
